’17-11-70’ – Elton John.
Reg’s fifth album and first live release. Six tracks performed by Elton, Nigel Olsson (drums) and Dee Murray (bass).
I’d like to get my hands on ’17-11-70+’ the expanded double album version released for Record Store Day in 2017. In the meantime, this isn’t too shabby.

Post Floyd
Roger or David?
My vote goes to………
Don’t get me wrong there’s been some good bits from David but I feel it’s all a little safe!
Roger harps on a bit but there’s a little more grit and emotion!
That’s just my personal thoughts ……. Anyone else care to comment but please no arguments?

Maybe a poll a la Hoffman Forum. Separate thread.
I haven’t heard post-Floyd Dave, but to say Roger ‘goes on a bit’ is putting it mildly!
But…I am liking the album you posted more… if only I could say the same for Animals.
Rog. Dave is a briliant singer and an even better guitarist, but he (or these days, his wife) is no lyricist and Dave’s tunes can be beautiful but can also tend towards torpidity. He needs Rog and Polly is no subsititute. Rog could also do with DG’s input - even Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton can’t replace him.
Amused to Death is by some distance the best of all the Floyd solo albums.

Ending the non- headphones bit of the evening with
Ravel L’Enfant et la Sortileges. Maazel on DG.
My copy (secondhand) came with an English libretto typed up on an old machine… I’ve seen another copy with this. Included by DG?
